Sangham.net has become six year old today, based on many small and large merits, formost given birth and nurished till this days by Upasika Sophorn, putting on first clothers by Upasak Dmytro ( Admin ) and hardly nurished, carred and clothed through all times till now by Upasaka Moritz .

Mudita with the long lasting effort and "durchaltevermoegen", such a long time, keeping up a good Nimitta and being intended to ways up and beyond with it.

6 years in this fast realm might be equal 60 years of lasting and carring if in more material sphere.

Not many know what it takes (requires to be given) to try to maintain such, foremost in dividing usual ways and ways based on Silas.

There has to be a domain (address) which is usually rented. There has to be a server (land) to build up software on it, store datas and run programms. Also usually rented per GB and according to system running needs. There has to be traffic recourse which is unequal higher in cost then user have to pay for their part.

And then it takes software, best possible keeping the use out of third part dependency.

But at this point comes the most hard part as well: Administration and maintaining.

Only after this long and hard sacrifices is it possible that the Tripple Gems could dwell and only then could be started to start to get into Dhamma, which then equires similar but more refined progress in sacrifices.

When things are not build upon solid and well maintained base, things are not made from raw step by step into refined, then all work done is very temporary and it can not easy be expected to ever clean up till facing not defiled surface.

Also here is it therefore needed to base all wished sacrifices on Sila.

Neither is it possible for monks to self-organise domain, server, software... nor to maintain it aside of what user may be able to maintain. And my person is not aware of any other place in the internet realm which does not either uses not given resources or is maintained to support particularly things and communities outside in a trading way, Dhaama for Dana in all kinds of ways.

One doing such sacrifices is sure to have to go agains all kinds of maccharia, stinginess in regard ones dwelling, family of supporters, ones estimate and honor, ones possessions and skills and not to speak of Dhamma, all based on integrity and deep gratitude.

This Dhamma, from the gross till refined is always a matter of timely gifts, once following them no more endangered to valid regret any giving into.

Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammā-sambuddhassa

"There are these five seasonable gifts. Which five? One gives to a newcomer. One gives to one going away. One gives to one who is ill. One gives in time of famine. One sets the first fruits of field & orchard in front of those who are virtuous. These are the five seasonable gifts."

In the proper season they give — those with discernment, responsive, free from stinginess.Having been given in proper season,with hearts inspired by the Noble Ones — straightened, Such —their offering bears an abundance.Those who rejoice in that gift or give assistance,they, too, have a share of the merit, and the offering isn't depleted by that.So, with an unhesitant mind,one should give where the gift bears great fruit. Merit is what establishes living beings in the next life.

Giving the Sublime Tripple Gems a dwelling and nurishing it, means to give into the deathless and what one gives into to that will one fall according to the paccaya, requisit or fundation given.

One should not think that the daily small nurishment is a small thing. Without the daily small sacrifices and gifts would there nobody present deprived of food. And one should not think that it is normal to give a share to beggars when knowing that not the smallest ordinary reward for short pleasures can be expected.
